Nok returned from the black market disappointed.
Although he brought back six bottles of advanced nutritional medicine safely, he still couldn't be happy.
Even when walking on the road, he always frowns.
The Minotaur Ariadotos showed Nok the portrait he brought.
But the tauren said that he did not recognize the race of the monster in the portrait.
That monster is probably not a demihuman, but a monster.
Nok didn't have too much doubt about the tauren's words.
Others may think that the tauren is just a reckless tauren warrior.
But Nok knew that this cunning guy, Ariadotos, was a tauren shaman.
That was a high-ranking member of the orc clan, equivalent to a noble among humans.
If the other party says they don’t know him, then there is a high chance that the monster is not a demi-human.
As for why Nok didn't suspect that Ariadotte was lying to him.
That's because he saved Ariadotte's life, and even the name was given to the Minotaur by Nok.
Ariadotte's real name seemed to be Wind or Hoof. Nok felt that it was hard to pronounce, so he named him Ariadotte.
The relationship between the two is not as bad as it appears, but it is just a general trend and is played out for the people in the black market.
Therefore, Knock did not doubt the authenticity of Ariadotle's words.
There is no need for the other party to lie to him about such a trivial matter.
Because, the transaction between the Minotaur and Nok is not just about magic materials.
The tauren cannot do without Nok's help in certain matters.
The tauren would not betray Nok easily.
"It seems that this time I have to go and see the true face of that monster in person."
Nok touched the nutritional medicine that was warm in his arms and made a decision in his heart.
It cost sixty gold coins, and I still have forty gold coins and eighteen silver coins.
It will be enough for the next six months. As long as there are no emergencies that require money, and if you live frugally, it will be enough for one or two years.
However, several children are severely deficient. Even if they drink nutritional medicine to make up for the foundation, they still need food supplements to supplement the missing nutrients.
Therefore, forty gold coins are really not enough.
As for the fifty gold coins hidden in the house, they were reserved for emergencies.
Without having to worry about money for a short period of time, he would have time to solve problems for Ford Holmes.
Although he coaxed Holmes out of his money, things still had to be done.
Tannock is not someone who takes money and does nothing.
What's more, the other party is a believer in "Qian Cheng", the kind who has unlimited money prospects.
Making good friends with each other is a wise choice.
Nok generously spent five silver coins to buy four cans of jam worth fifty copper coins each, and bought two more silver coins of bacon, which weighed ten kilograms and was enough for the welfare home for a week. He also bought another One denarius of white bread.
This is the feast prepared by Nok.
Not that Knock couldn't afford something better.
But the children are very short-changed. If they eat too much good food at once, their stomach and intestines will not be able to bear it.
These foods are nothing more than excessive foods.
After the children's health has improved, white bread and jam will be provided every day, as well as milk. And steak or lamb chops.
Children from ordinary families have these things, and children from monasteries must also have them.
Without the hole in nutritional medicine, even if there is no big customer like Mr. Holmes in the future, Nok will make enough money to afford such consumption.
After all, Nok is a man who can earn from a few gold coins to more than a dozen gold coins a month.
The children happily enjoyed a delicious meal.
Delicious white bread and jam keep the kids coming back for more.
The broth stewed with bacon made the children almost swallow their tongues.
Such a scene made Knock very emotional and felt that he had a heavy responsibility.
Except for Ashley, who was abandoned at the age of three, and the Haywell brothers and sisters, who were abandoned at the gate of the monastery at birth, the other children had actually eaten more delicious food.
After all, they all had happy families before they became orphans.
But now it's just bacon stew, which they eat with gusto.
These children have suffered a lot over the years.
But Knock didn't say anything sensational.
After handing Lilian thirteen silver coins, Nok ignored the little girl's surprised look and asked the little ones to clear the table quickly, then take a bath and go to bed.
He himself returned to the bedroom and stuffed the bag of gold coins into the desk drawer. Feeling a little uneasy, he counted ten gold coins in his hand, walked to the study on the second floor, and hid the gold coins separately. In the pages of several scriptures.
These books are all books that Lilian is studying.
Nok became a priest, and Lillian aspired to be a nun, so she is currently studying hard.
It's just that in the past year, in order to take care of several children, Lilian's study progress has been delayed, and her reading time has been intermittent.
Nok hid the gold coins in the book just in case.
After all, he wanders in the dark night, and not every time he is so lucky and returns safely.
Being prepared for the unexpected is also a measure.
After going to the backyard to wash away the fatigue of the day, Nok lay quietly on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
Originally, at this time, it would be most comfortable if I could take a dip in the backyard bathhouse.
Unfortunately, facilities like a bathhouse were too luxurious for a monastery with only seven children.
Cleaning the bathhouse, filling and boiling water in the bathhouse, changing the water in the bathhouse after washing, and cleaning up are all a huge consumption.
In the old days when the monasteries were brothers, this kind of consumption was nothing.
But for the current monastery, that is simply more luxurious than eating steak every day.
In a daze, Nok heard the midnight bell.
There is still an hour before midnight, and this period of time is preferably the time when [Ripper] is active.
Nok quickly put on his clothes.
This time, he was wearing a priest's robe, still covered with the expensive cloak.
However, this time Nok did not bring a Bible. Instead, he took out a cloth bag from the drawer. After opening the cloth bag, he inserted the two items inside into his left and right waists respectively and hid them in his wide cloak. .
In addition to these two things, Nok also went to the study room on the second floor, pulled out a book from a hidden corner of the bookshelf, and took out a dagger with a silvery sheath and a patterned scabbard from the hollow book. Put it in my arms.
With these preparations in place, Nok quietly crossed the wall of the monastery and slipped out of the back street of the monastery.
Avoiding the night patrol, Knock soon arrived on Baker Street.
He stood on the roof of the tallest building on Baker Street, overlooking Baker Street shrouded in dim lights.
At this time, the area around Baker Street was quiet. Except for the occasional footsteps of the patrolman passing by with his dog, there was no movement.
After all, there have been so many murders that even the most daring women would not dare to walk alone on Baker Street at night.
However, if a murderer wants to commit a crime, there will always be a chance to catch him.
After all, women are not just found on the streets!
Daisy Green is a young single woman who has recently moved out of her home against her parents' objections because of her love for a man named Jim Hudson. Currently renting an apartment on Baker Street.
Tonight's date with Mr. Hudson left her in a state of excitement.
Mr. Hudson, who is gentle and smooth-talking, is simply her ideal marriage partner.
Especially the deep kiss before parting made her almost get lost in the other person's arms.
Fortunately, her remaining sense allowed her to refuse Mr. Hudson's request to sit upstairs.
However, Daisy, who was lying in the room, felt regretful and uneasy because of her rejection just now.
I wonder if Mr. Hudson would be bothered by his rejection and feel that he didn't like him?
Daisy tossed and turned in bed because of this.
But she didn't know that outside her bedroom window, a black shadow lay there watching her for a long time.
The black shadow was already lying on the window sill at some point. You know, Daisy lived on the third floor, seven or eight meters above the ground!
The shadow's eyes were red, and he murmured painfully and weakly in his throat: "Bad woman...Bad woman!"
"Ho! Bad women deserve to die!"
The black shadow suddenly yelled like crazy, startling Daisy who was still sleeping on the bed.
"ah!"
Daisy heard the roar, turned around and saw a pair of red eyes on the window, and she screamed in fear.
"Wow!"
Daisy's scream stimulated the black shadow, which broke the window with a punch and rushed into the room.
"Help!"
Daisy screamed and rolled under the bed, avoiding the monster's attack.
Boom!
The bed was crushed by the black shadow's swoop, and Daisy on the ground finally saw the true face of the black shadow so close at hand.
"Ah! Monster—!"
Daisy was so frightened that she fainted.
The monster in front of me is really scary.
A pair of red eyes hung on the face as big as a basin. Under the ugly pig nose was a bloody mouth, with two fangs exposed at the top and bottom of the mouth.
I don’t know if the long hair on the face is a beard or hair, maybe because it is lying down at this time, and the long hair is dragged to the floor.
A pair of limbs that were unknown as arms or forelimbs, with claws longer than blades, were gesturing towards Daisy, as if choosing which part to attack.
Under the body is a pair of hind limbs similar to hooves and legs, but without the sharp claws like the forelimbs.
But a thick and strong tail was swinging flexibly against the wall, leaving "whip marks" on the wall.
As early as Daisy screamed, Nok, who heard the movement, started to act.
The patrol police on the street, led by the hound, rushed towards Daisy's apartment.
But as ordinary people, they finally took a step behind Nok.
When they arrived at the apartment and knocked on the door, Daisy's room was already empty.
There was nothing left in the room except the mess on the floor and a broken window.
The room's tenant, Daisy Green, had long since disappeared.
Not to mention how the patrol officers were busy investigating in the apartment.
However, it was said that when Nok arrived at the scene immediately, he just jumped in through the window and saw the monster with its claws raised and ready to rip out the heart and lungs.
Well, what was taken out was the heart and lungs of the woman on the ground.
Therefore, Nok didn't waste any time and took action directly.
Nok reached out and pulled out the dagger from his arms, then threw it at the monster's back without thinking.
Poof!
The dagger penetrated the body, and the monster let out a scream and fell directly onto the collapsed bed in pain.
Nok was delighted when he saw this, and wanted to step forward and give the monster a fatal blow.
After all, when a dark creature is hit by a mithril dagger, it's like red-hot pebbles falling into water. It doesn't boil, but only boils (pains)!
However, as soon as Nok took a step forward, he regretted it.
A sound breaking through the air suddenly hit the back of his head. He had no time to dodge and could only throw himself desperately towards the ground in front of him.
boom!
A huge force hit Nok's back.
Not only was the cloak and priest's robe on his body high-end goods enchanted with defensive magic circles, I'm afraid that this one blow would cost him half of his life!
But even with these defenses, the huge impact still burned all his internal organs and made stars appear in front of his eyes.
After such a delay, the howling monster on the ground took the opportunity to pick up the unconscious woman on the ground, endured the pain in his back, and jumped out of the window!
